LWG Architectural Interiors2141 Thurston Drive, Ottawa, ON

When LWG expanded its operations, we took advantage of the opportunity to create Ottawa’s first LEED Commercial Interior space. Leading by example, we were able to create an innovative LEED Silver space in a Class B office building. Our thinking was that if we could do it here for ourselves, we could do it anywhere, with any client. The result is a bright, open, functional and dynamic work environment that our staff is proud to call home.
